HousingPriorities

If students who plan on living in University housing next
semester boycott the housing contracts, they will be "placing
themselves in jeopardy" in terms of application priority, according

LBJ's Assistant Speaks

First Annual
By JEAN RENAKER

Kernel Staff Writer
The first annual pre-laday
was celebrated Saturday with a
panel discussion and an address
by James R. Jones, appointments
secretary to President Lyndon B.
Johnson.
Mr. Jones discussed "government in the law," as it relates
to lawyers in particular, and said
that our "most urgent need today
is peace peace at home and
w

abroad."

-

According to him, one of the
most necessary elements in bringing about world peace is "trust
in the president of the United

States."

He said that it is only the
president and those he chooses as
his aides, who have the necessary
facts on which to base their
decisions.

"Participate," was Jones advice for bringing peace at home.
He said that barely fifty percent
of voters 24 years old and younger
vote. On the basis of these

Pre-La-

w

figures, he challenged" those who
are disillusioned" with: "do we
really care as much as we say?"
Countering the bad image
created by student disorders at
Berkeley, Jones observed that
"what you don't read about
Berkeley is that there are more
Vista volunteers on that campus
than on any other campus in the

country."

Day Held

He urged young people to

"join the arena of public life,"
to leam what Preident Johnson
meant when he said "you have

chosen the arena. Even your
mightiest works may change the
world only a little, but to change
the world only a little that is a
mighty work."

to dean of students Jack Hall.
Next semester, as in the past,
the earlier a student submits his
housing application, the more
chance he has of getting the
residence hall and roommate he
requested, Hall explained.
A bill requesting students to
boycott housing contracts by
withholding all contracts until
the submission deadline was
passed last Thursday at a Student Government meeting.
The boycott, which would
flood the Housing Office with
unprocessed contracts at the last
minute, is proposed as a measure
of protest against the University's
new housing policy.
The policy would make it
possible for the University to
require sophomores, juniors, and
seniors to live in University housing when "necessary."
The SG suggested that each
dorm government survey the re

sidents to decide whether or not

the dorm would participate in

the boycott.
Several of the dorm presidents
feel that participation in the boycott will simply be a matter of
individual choice. "Nobody's
going to beat you over the head
if you want to submit an early
application," said Bill Marshall,
president of Kirwan 4.
Jeannie St. Charles, president
of Holmes Hall, said a poll or
petition will be taken in that
freshman dorm. She agreed that
participation would have to be
by personal choice.
Kirwan 2s president, Sue
Dempsey, said, "If we hold out
until the last day, we'll be cutting
our own throats." She said protesting students who lose their
application priority "will not be
able to blame anyone but

By contrast, the managers of
the West Main and the New Circle Road stores removed grapes
from the tables as soon as CARSA members began distributing

Thomas Cheuvront, manager
of the West Main A&P, said,
"The main office in Louisville
instructed me several days ago
to stop selling grapes if something
like thia"iiappened. I'm going to

inform the other managers in

I'm sure that they will do the
same thing."
The manager of the New Circle Road store, Carl Brent, would
not give his reason for discontinuing sales there.
A&P officials have cooperated
with grape boycott efforts in other
cities, including Chicago, Cleveland, New York and Philadelphia.

Dr. Mason Writes In 'The Nation'

Workers9 War On Poverty Has Two Fronts

EDITOR'S NOTE: The following analysis of the political situation in eastern Kentucky by Dr.GeneMason,
associate professor in the UK Political Science Department, first appeared in the Dec. 30 edition of The
Nation.
The law locks up
Both man and woman
Who steals the goose
From off the common.
Yet turns the greater
Felon loose
Who steals the common
From the goose.
Old English Rhyme
By DR. CENE MASON
Eastern Kentucky is in the heartland of Appalachia
and has all the attributes associated with that colonized
poverty pocket. The state of Kentucky not only has
40 percent of the nation's
schoolhouses, but
its children suffer the highest TB rate in the nation.
Almost
of the east Kentucky population
over 24 is illiterate.
During the Kennedy administration, numerous
programs were pulled from the drawing tables.
We all thought we had declared war on poverty and,
to some extent, on the social system that perpetuates
it. But aside from the fact that the national leadership
gave the war in Vietnam priority over the war in Appalachia, other contradictions are Inherent in any attempt
by the federal government to destroy poverty.
MTen of Nation's Twenty Poorest Countries"
In eastern Kentucky one of those contradictions is
a reflection of the economic system. Coal is the basic
one-roo-

one-fourt-

h

anti-pover-

ty

industry, and the Tennessee Valley Authority is by far

the single largest buyer. The poor people do not profit
from the industry they have been ruined by it. There
is an estimated 35 billion tons of coal beneath the rocky,

mountainous surface of eastern Kentucky, and only 2 billion tons of it have been mined in more than half a
century. Yet 10 of the 20 poorest counties in the nation
are in eastern Kentucky. Pike County, the largest
county in this country, is among them. Last
18,267,200 tons of coal were mined in Pike County
year,
alone. Coal brings the mine owners from $3 to $15 per
ton, depending on the grade. Even at the lowest rate,
this one county produces $50 million worth of coal in
one year.
That wealth has done almost nothing for the people
of the county. In the words of Harry Caudill, Whitesburg,
Ky., attorney and author, "Today welfare, not mining,
provides most of the money spent by families in the
nation's coal fields." To understand how such poverty
can exist amid such wealth one must recognize the
relationship between the owners of coal companies and
the county power structure they are virtually the same.
Poverty in eastern Kentucky is a political problem. None
of the federally funded antipoverty programs officially
recognize it as such, but some come closer than others.
Eighteen months ago the Appalachian Volunteers
(AV's) hired as its training director Alan McSurely, a
antipoverty worker with an M.A. in psychology. He was fired three weeks later for his alleged
manipulative and Leninist beliefs. McSurely had proposed various structural changes within the AV organization and had advocated direct political action as the
only means to end poverty. He urged the staff to prepare
itself for the day when federal money would be cut off
coal-produci-

if poor people in the mountains really began to get
organized.
McSurely and his wife Margaret were then hired by
the Southern Conference Educational Fund (SCEF), a
Louisville-base- d
civil rights and antipoverty organization, and remained in the mountains to organize. The AV
staff began its work that summer sharply split among
militants, moderates, and a few genuine conservatives.
However, the first issue in which they all Joined forces
was not long in coming. By
1967, they were
all working to organize poor people against strip miningthe most brutal and destructive aspect of the economic system. (See "Strip-Min- e
Morality: The Landscaping of Hell" by Wendell Berry, The Nation, Jan.
.

mid-Jun-

e,

24, 1966.)

Night Raiders and Dynamite
Forty million tons of coal were stripped from Kenmountains last year and most of
tucky's
that was purchased by the TVA. James Curry, reclamation director for TVA, apparently finds this a satisfactory relationship. "Strip mining is an integral aspect
of the American economy."
Strip mining is certainly not desired, however, by
the poor people who live on and around the land that
is stripped. By a curious device known as the broad
form deed, owners of the coal under the ground have
rights superior to those who own the land above. In
the early part of this century, the rights to this coal
were purchased for a pittance from people who were
completely ignorant of their potential value.
The Kentucky Court of Appeals has upheld the rights
of those who own the coal to destroy this land. A law

Attacks On ROTC: Skirmishes Or War?
By JOE HINDS
Kcmcl Staff Writer
An undeclared war against
the Reserve Officers' Training
Corps (ROTC) began several
years ago when universities
across the country dispensed with
making the first two years of the
program compulsory.
Yale, Dartmouth and Harvard
declared war last week.
The established institutions
stirred some of "ye olde ivy"
by voting to dismiss academic
credit for ROTC courses. The
inevitable polarization process
has already begun and clamors
can be heard in both camps
for the "true story."
One Yale professor, sizzling
about the military program, labeled the ROTC courses as "low-lev-

are other trade courses that receive crcd it here."
"Statistics Favor Credit"
Robert Rudd, UK professor
in agriculture economics, said,
"I doubt academic credit will
be dropped for ROTC at UK because it is out of tradition at a
institution. Statistics
seem to run predominantly in favor of continuing the credit."
Rudd, who received his commission through ROTC at UK,
continued: "I wouldn't say that
Harvard and Yale are setting a
trend that other universities will
follow. These are private institutions while UK is public. In
analyzing this as a trend, it
land-gra-

nt

would depend on whom you
talked to."
A senior Air Force ROTC student at the University said, "The
courses I have in ROTC would
be equivalent to courses in advanced psychology and business
management. I wouldn't have
time to take them unless they
counted as credit."
A ROTC senior textbook,
"The Air Force As A Profession,"
notes, "At the present time, legislation is pending to change
the name of the program and redefine its objectives."
The war has been declared
but may not be resolved for some
time.

on "certain matters" involved in
the controversial issue.
He added: "ROTC has been
noncompiilsory in most schools
for some time although some
people seem to think it is still
required even at UK. It isn't
compulsory in most schools."
UK students seem basically
undecided on the question. A
senior said, "I have mixed feelings on the matter. I think giving credit for the courses is bad
because it furthers the military,
but I realize that isn't necessarily
an acceptable argument. I also
realize that disallowing credit
because it is a trade school course
might not be fair because there

The policy has been to stop
grape sales in all of the area
stores when one or more stores
has been picketed.
Bill Rauch, chainnan of CARSA, said that the group would
return to the five A&P groceries
to see if grapes are still being
sold. "We're going to have to
keep checking. They (the store
managers) could have taken the
grapes down just for our benefit
and put them back as soon as
we left."
CARSA plans to try to stop
grape sales by the University
Food Service in the near future.

as he calls them, often consisted
of simple work stoppage during

Study discussion on some basic
tenets of the Christian Faith.
Ed Miller, Leader

'Communism Is Too Simple'
He rejected both pure capitalism and communism as feasible systems of government for
Czechoslovakia. "Communism is
too simple nice ideas, but impossible to perform. Nobody
wants capitalism either. Capitalism is dead. In my country,
if you need medical help or a
doctor, you get it free. It is expected. Only some such form of
socialism will be accepted by my
people. A sick man should not
have to worry about paying for
his care."
Knizak's presentation Thursday of his paper "To Love To
Blend The Gases," underlined
the freedom of expression found
by the Czech artists after their
exposure to abstraction in the

late 1950's.

He resisted the idea that art
was an isolated facet of the human life. "All reality is at our
disposal. That word 'art' is an
exorcism to sanctify everything
which it profanes . . . Rape it
and make fun of it."
From this attitude came a
small group or Czech artists
called AKTUAL, who began to
explore these areas that until

then had not been 'art.' "I did
simple, childlike games for participants or all ages . . . Man
must find other territority to
Judge reality."
'Discovering Yourself
This resistance to artistic restriction naturally led to such
spontaneous activity as"the happening," "discovering your
by discovering yourself."
The artist declared that his
freedoms
country's
would not be lost. "My country
is in the midst or a slow, inexorable evolution. Such an evolution is our only way to become
free."
He expressed surprise at the
lack of political sophistication
among American student, especially their invariable negative
reaction to any form or government "other than their own capfello-

w-being

new-foun- d

italism."
Will Return Home
Knizak plans to return to his
country sometime in the next
several months. He expects no
trouble entering, just as he experienced no trouble leaving, acquiring the normal tourist's passport. He expressed no rear that
his creativity might be bridled
upon his return. "Our function
is not to reinforce the official
line of the government. Ourfunc-tiois to be free. That is why
the Soviets occupied my country.
We only wanted to be rree."
He described a conrrontation
during the occupation, when he
was discovered walking through
"my ravorite forest," by a large,
armed contingent of Soviet staff
and troops. "I was very afraid,
standing there, holding my cat.
I told them, 'I go every day here.
I will go again. Co home and
leave my country alone. "

to persuade the prominent artist
to visit here.
When asked by students why
his country failed to respond
to the occupation with open force,
he replied, "The Vietnamese
could try such a thing when the
Americans invaded their country.
In my country it would have been
different; there is no jungle to
provide coverage for guerrilla
warfare. It would have been an
open slaughter."

Dorm Boycott
that

Student Government Thursday
night surprised a number of people
by coming up with a meaningful
plan of action against the Board
of Trustees' forced housing policy.
The assembly passed a bill sponsored by Thorn Pat Juul's Students
for Action and Responsibility (SAR)
party calling for students to "boycott" University housing next semester to show their disapproval
of the policy.

The plan, however, does not
constitute any real boycott. It asks
only that students who are opposed to the forced housing policy
hold out their dorm applications
until the last possible day as a
significant way to express their
opinions. The bill asks each dorm
government unit to support the
measure. It is up to these bodies,
then, to act and act soon to implement the SG measure. Not only would such a position be in
the best interests of students, but
it would also allow the dorm governments to show for a change

they also can serve a meaningful function.
It is true that students already
have expressed themselves on the
housing policy in a Student Government referendum where 97 percent of the 4,000 students voting
voiced disapproval. Some administrators, however, have chosen to
ignore the referendum results, saying they were not representative of
the entire student body. Student
latest innovative
Government's
plan for fighting the housing measure has the potential to show
beyond a doubt that the students
most affected by the plan are indeed opposed to it.
To see Student Government taking a strong position opposing the
administration in the best interests
of the students is indeed refreshing and helps restore confidence
in the body. It appears that at
least some members of the assembly are determined not to cower
before University officials despite
the lack of executive leadership
Student Government is receiving.

War, Depression
At a late Thursday night discussion about the new housing
policy, Student Government Vice
President Tim Futrell was asked
by a Holmes Hall resident why the
policy was enacted if it is not
intended to be used, as Futrell
had asserted earlier.

Futrell replied that Interim
President Dr. A. D. Kirwan had
told him the policy was needed in
case of "war or national

That Futrell could rely on such
a statement speaks plainly of the
timorous position being taken by
SG leaders on the forced housing
controversy. It is obvious to all
persons informed of the issue that
such ridiculous explanations are
not the real reason for the policy.
Or does the fact that next year's
sophomores are being required to
apply for University housing mean
that Dr. Kirwan foresees a (declared) war or national depression
coming soon?
